I was reading in several medical articles that both laboratories lowered the price a little to be able to compete and dominate the market, both will cost around 1400 dollars a month.
A question to the Americans, can a person with an average salary buy the drug at that price?

If it’s accepted over here it will be on the pbs. Pharmacutical benefits scheme. Basically med prices are capped to basically $40/month for normal folk and about $8/ month if your on a concession card like me.
It’s cool if these meds will work as your hoping but all’s I’m saying is after years the benefits are slow. There’s two things. A new med needs publicity and your certainly doing that but it doesn’t mean it’s any good or anything but incrementally better than the previous generation.
There’s plenty of people who move forward on current or old gen meds here and live good lives.

I could maybe get access to one of them here in my country because we’ve got public health care but I want to spear the tax payers pockets so I buy cheap generics were I have a copay because I’ve got a bank account of more than 10.000 to get full support.

I suspect most sz patients do not have good salaries in USA. Many are on disability. So it might be tough for workers. Most patients in USA get meds via government or private insurance. There are usually drug company schemes to offer low income workers, without great insurance, drugs at a discount. The low income worker would have to apply and be approved by the company.

We will have to wait until mid-2025. At least in my country.
The ANMAT (it is the FDA of Argentina). It takes less than 70 to 160 business days to approve a drug. If they do not meet the 70 business days while trying to approve a proven foreign clinical study, it is automatically approved.
